Among the countries in our calculator, the UAE offers the lowest effective rate -- companies in free zones can benefit from 0% corporate tax. On the mainland, profits under AED 375,000 are also exempt. Estonia also offers a unique model where corporate tax (20%) is only applied when profits are distributed as dividends.
For the United States, we include an approximate average state tax of 5% on top of the 21% federal rate, resulting in an effective rate of around 26%. For Germany, the trade tax (Gewerbesteuer) is included. Other countries use a single national rate.
Corporate tax is levied on your company's profits (revenue minus allowable expenses). VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax applied to the sale of goods and services, typically collected from customers and remitted to the government. They are separate obligations.
These are rough estimates based on standard headline rates. Real-world tax liability depends on deductions, exemptions, tax treaties, business expenses, and the specific structure of your company. Use these figures as a starting point for comparison, then consult a qualified tax professional for precise planning.
